I could have benefited from the exercise on some of those murky days but the time, effort and cost never seem worth it - minimum two days now. Thanks Mark.

As you say such poor weather this winter so far. I have only managed day walks and only one of them I could see more than 20 feet ! Great photos of a fine landscape.

Alistair - Thank you too, the morning was certainly gloomy down here today. I hear there is a bit more snow on the way for parts of Scotland, maybe a wintry pitch is on the cards.

Thanks for the inspiration to get out there with the tent again. Those are fantastic photos, just what I needed on a dark winter’s morning.

Absolutely love that pic of the ponies and Tryfan. That's worthy of a frame and place on any wall mate. Excellent, Geoff. Absolutely love that pic of the ponies and Tryfan.

Jamie - lovely clarity again for the photos, one of the best times of year. That shot of the ponies does seem to be very popular, they thoughtfully posed in just the right spot to get Tryfan in the background. Jim - the Y Braich descent is well suited to an east or west part-traverse, I remember doing the western one starting with Pen yr Ole Wen. There were quite a lot of walkers around the Carneddau, we almost crossed paths this time. A good DSLR and lens + Photoshop accounts for a lot, plus the excellent lighting!. Ian - it could have been a 4-day trip in hindsight, still we were very pleased with that. Strange there is virtually no snow in Wales, but there is still time: one of our snowiest trips was in early March 2006.
